Paypal fees are 4.4% + $0.30 + gst, which comes to 5.2% + $0.35, I just add this overhead to my invoices. For larger amounts, I ask that they send through Xoom. Again, I don't try and make sense of the charges, I just invoice accordingly.

That UI warms my heart, I didn't know how much I missed those older cluttered interfaces!

Similar thing happens on Swiggy if the restaurant is out of a few items and asks you to choose alternatives, the coupons you applied are voided. Best course of action is to cancel the order entirely and make a new one after the refund is complete. The coupon is not active again until the...

So the on-time-promise coupon is not idempotent, they're silently queued behind each other and there's no way to know if you have one or three without using them one by one. Also my ordering on Zomato has gone down significantly because I get a Rs 100 coupon every third or fourth order on...

Tell them the world's richest man plays video games. It doesn't matter how or why, but the fact remains that Elon Musk does play video games, so it's not something that's undesirable or immature. If it was stupid, he'd lose public appeal and his companies will go into losses and he'll end up...

Chenoy Trade Center, CTC, and Chandralok Complex have been my "stomping grounds" since the late 90s — I spent countless hours there and probably built over a hundred computers with parts purchased from there, back when system building was a profitable hobby. The ground floor (and some of the...

It looks like the consumer market has changed in a way that can't be undone. Companies/brands are not willing or able to spend money in research and development. They have capital, they import OEM hardware, rebrand them and sell for a small profit. That business model is proven and is no...

Makes sense, there were two of these, one one each side, but only one thermal label.

Way cool! But the amount of heat needed for them to turn pink discolours the thermal label:

A motherboard, the wrong motherboard. I ordered a B450 ATX and received B450 micro-ATX, so now I have to wait for their "investigation" to finish sometime next week before they tell me if they'll take it back.

I received a package with water/moisture heat indicators, pretty cool except it's summer haha

Technically, it's an single-outlet extension box with usb ports haha. I got mine from Zepto, they had it under Extension Cables.

I have this and it's good, but with limitations. The first Type-C port has priority, so the second one will always provide less power (20W max) even if the first port has a low power device. Each Type-C port on its own can provide the full 65W but when another Type-C port is used, the power...

Turns out, 2024 was the year I moved away from coffee and instead took a saridon tablet for an energy boost, yikes.

This might work better, with dietpi as the os: https://saudewala.in/collections/thin-collection/products/dell-wyse-3040-thin-client-refurbished I've run pihole on slower processors, with dietpi. https://dietpi.com/blog/?p=2918

He sold on eBay exclusively, I did the same but with Indian prints of text books. Parcels were sent out without a tracking number, just "ordinary" post with stamps. For a while I managed someone's Instagram business, they sold personalized notebooks. Over 500 orders, not a single one lost...

For 4040 extrusion, novo3d.in has the best prices. But their 4040 is dual slot, not single, but this means you can user cheaper 2020 hardware and brackets. Also their 4040 measures a little short, at 39mm. Other places you could try is mechblock and robokits, I've had good experiences with...

I bought a bunch of stuff from them over the years. I feel the prices are prices are higher than other places because they exclude GST. Quality is usually pretty good. One time the custom cut profiles were done pretty bad, but that was just once.

Off-grid solar has been a dream of mine for many years now, I'm hopeful I'll be able to do it in the next few years. Pretty cool that 700+ watt panels are finally available to us. A rough calculation shows 24 panels with >50kwh in LFP batteries would bring my bill down to 0. Most off grid...
